:
There is certainly a market for C++ but I don't think there will be in a few years when people move onto C# (sharp)
C# is only going to catch on for people who want to code .NET. All other applications that need reliable, low-level coding tools will continue to use C++.



Also, yes, you can learn the syntax of C++ from a book. And you can even become a reasonable coder on your own. But you're not going to learn how to develop reliable, efficient, well-designed code in any language without either taking a course or (more importantly) working in a professional environment with a good mentor.
